Arizona State Police, (DPS). Youngest in the history of the state. Had serious leg injuries and couldn't pass the physical to do anything but desk job. So, I left the department.
I was struck by a run a way car and rammed full throttle into a parked truck. (Bumper to bumper) Was off duty, just helping a broken down motorist. 5 surgeries and 2 years to walk. During that time I had to live in a TIPI as I had no money. Ended up inventing a toy for my daughter which now is sold around the world. I ended up making my living inventing simple things and licensing them or having them manufactured and sold.
In 2001 followed my passion for cars and now own Dragon Motor Cars and Chesnut Motorsports. I make and sell kits for cars of my design and a Snake replica.
But, my proudest achievment (besides my family) was being part of DPS. I was stationed in Tucson and Nogalas. This was the late 70's. Even then the border was pretty wild.
God bless the men and women that protect and serve!
